Understanding Discovery Medical Aid’s Waiting Periods for Addiction Rehab
When you sign up for Discovery Medical Aid, you may encounter initial waiting periods before accessing specific services like addiction rehab. Medical aids commonly use these waiting periods to prevent misuse of the system, ensuring premium stability for all members.
Types of Waiting Periods at Discovery Medical Aid
1. Initial Waiting Period: Right after you join, Discovery Medical Aid may not cover claims during the first part of your membership. This general waiting period typically spans the first couple of months.
2. Condition-Specific Period** A longer waiting period might apply to pre-existing conditions known or treated just before your new policy starts.
If you need addiction rehab, this could mean waiting longer for coverage.
